Nicolle's P.O.V.:
he grabbed my hand as we roam around the park. damn, he looks so good with that polo shirt. he obviously styled his hair the way i liked it. that smile that captured my heart few months ago grew as he led me to a bench.
"nic,"
he calls me by that nickname. almost everybody calls me that, but whenever he's the one who's saying it, it makes me smile like a maniac.
i look at him as he stares at me deeply. god, why does he do this. it makes me wanna die right now. i try to stop this uncontrollable smile as i turned to look at him.
"yeah?"
"well," he starts to feel uneasy as suspicion grew on me. "prom is coming few weeks from now." i raised my eyebrow as i wait for him to continue.
"niya i need a partner."
"then?"
"i think you'd be a great beautiful partner to me."
i blushed, looking away. no one has ever called me beautiful. but just the way he says it makes me heart skip a beat, my cheeks turning as red as a tomato and he once had the chance to control my heart again.
but then i became hesitant, knowing i wasn't good enough for him. i'm just nobody to him. i mean just look at that beauty, he can literally get any girl that he wants.
"but, you know, you have other girls who is a lot more better than m-"
"but i still chose you."
i shut my mouth, looked at him again. his face, i can't describe what it's trying to tell, all i know is that his trying to express something, one word.
love.
"nic, just trust me." he grabs my hand as he moves closer to me. he kisses my hand, as i bite my lip.
his brings himself closer to me, gradually leaving no space between us. i gulped, knowing what's happening next.
he held my cheek as i close my eyes. i let the moment sink in, giving in the fact that i like him.
before i can feel his lips, i-
"NICOLLE!" I jumped from my chair, in shock. I look around and saw all of the chairs around me empty, my friends standing near me laughing from what they did.
I was dreaming again, and it turns out, it wasn't real.
"Hoy, ngano ka?" Thea asked me as she placed her hand at my shoulder. I ran my fingers through my hair as I yawned.
"I dreamt myself marrying Jay." I murmured as I stood up from my chair. She sighed as we all went out of the room.
"You know, you could do something better rather than day dreaming about him." She suggested as I grabbed my bag.
"But day dreaming about him is the best thing that I can do." I said. Thea and Kirsten both looked at each other, contemplating what I just said.
"Whatever you say bai." They both smirked as we head into the canteen.
I rubbed my eyes, trying to remember my dream a while ago. I smiled as I remembered what happened.
It felt so real. The way he looks at me, like he's staring into my soul. The way he laughs at my jokes, which I didn't even find funny. The way he grabs my hand kisses it, piste. Makahilak intawn ni.
I mean, just look at him. Such beauty. Every girl would want to be in my position, if it really happened. Makes me just wanna go to him and say "I really like you."
We all placed our bags at a table. I looked at both of my friends, as I suddenly laughed.
"Ngano man?" Kirt raised her eyebrows as I continue to laugh. I don't care if mura kog buang karon.
"Inyong nawng ba, tama kaayo murag gikan camping ra jud." I started laughing so loud, like that type of laugh ba na tuyok tuyok nalang jud ka niya you can't see anyone kay it's like you're taking drugs.
Then suddenly, I accidentally bumped into someone then I fell down in the floor. Shit. Unsaon ni nako.
I covered my face as I repeatedly said sorry to the person who I bumped into. That person, who I still can't recognize took my hand and helped me get off the floor. I uncovered my face then-
piste. si jay.
"Sorry kaayo kuya.." I plead for forgiveness as he laughs at me. God, I feel so stupid.
"Okay ra to uy. Just be careful lang next time ha?" He placed his hand at my shoulder then left with his friends.
I bit my lip, trying to control this uncontrollable smile as I went back to my friends.
"Da, nahulog intawn ni siya." Thea said as they both laughed. I laughed with them, reminiscing that bad moment over and over again.
